Answer
India's climate is affected with various reasons like ; Latitude , altitude and pressure and wind .
____________________
Latitude
the Tropic of Cancer passes through the middle of the country from the Rann of kuchchh in the west to Mizoram in the east . almost half of the country line south of the Tropic of Cancer belongs to the tropical area . all the remaining area north of the Tropic lies in the subtropical therefore India Climate has characteristics of tropical as well as subtropical climates .
___________________
Altitude
India has mountain to the north which have an average height of about 6000m . India also has a vast coastal area where the maximum elevation is about 30m . the Himalayas prevent the cold wind from Central Asia from entering the subcontinent . it is because of these Mountain that this subcontinent experience comparatively the winters as compared to Central Asia .

Pressure and Wind
the climate and associated weather condition in India are governed by the following atmospheric conditions ;
- pressure and surface wind
- upper air circulation
- Western cyclonic disturbances and tropical cyclones .
As , India lies in the region of north easterly winds . These wins originate from the subtropical high pressure belt of the northern hemisphere . devlo southward get deflected to the right due to the Coriolis force, and moved toward the equatorial low pressure area .
